Amazing stone house in semi-mountainous area, registered as Cyprus monument carrying traditional architecture character such as private interior courtyard, arches, indoor fireplace. It consists of 4 bedrooms, one big bathroom and a cosy living room.

We agree totally with the last review: "The photos of this house don't do it justice! It is extremely spacious and comfortable and it is very nice to be able to sit both inside and outside. The seating area outside even has ceiling fans to keep you cool. This house has a lot of culture and class and unlike the majority of the accommodation, it gives you a real taste of the history and culture of Cyprus. It's location meant that we could travel fairly easily to many destinations - the Kyrenian Mountains, Mount Olympus, the beach, Nicosia, just to name a few. If you're interested in getting off the beaten track, this is the place for you." I would like to add that the owner and family are very nice. We arrived at night, so they had arranged all the stuff for a breakfast. We had a very good time! Niels

We spent a week at Vasilis's beautiful villa. Firstly, as others have mentioned, the pictures certainly do not do the place justice. The villa is beautiful, the attention to detail is outstanding. It is very spacious, well-equipped, and comfortable. The location is also excellent, and there are so many beautiful nature trails very close to the house - reachable by foot, and by car (I recommend the Machairas forest trails and Stavrovouni Monastery trail - both less than 30 minutes drive). It is also only a short drive to Nicosia. If you're looking for shopping and nightlife, this is not the place for you. If you enjoy experiencing a more authentic experience, nature, peace, and charming surroundings, then I highly recommend Vasilis's place.

Cool place in a small Cypriot village. Sara was the perfect host- knowledgeable, accommodating- and very helpful. The B&B is very authentic- and leaves you with a feeling that you have experienced the real Cypriot lifestyle. She and her partner have just opened up but I am sure the place will be a bit hit with travellers seeking something different than the standard five star hotel deal.

Everything was wonderful. This is a unique place in its beauty and architecture. The house has everything you need for recreation. Maria bought the necessary food for our arrival, Explained where everything is and was always ready to answer any of our questions. We practically did not leave the villa to enjoy it. The water in the pool is constantly filtered. There are games and sports, brazier, deckchairs, umbrellas. And all this is inside modern architecture.

The place was above our expectations. Very relaxed place to relax body and mind. Sara and Tasos were fantastic hosts. They provided us everything we needed and information about surrounding areas.

Alki and Sam's country home is beautiful. The unit attached to their holiday home is brand new and very modern and clean. The view from the balcony is breathtaking. Was the perfect setting for a morning coffee and evening Cypriot red wine! Alki and Sam stay at the main part of the home intermittently and are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to exploring the island of Cyprus. They had many great suggestions on places to go and little villages to visit. They, and there 3 loving little dogs, were so welcoming - they even hosted us for breakfast one morning! This little unit is in a very central location to visit the mountains, beach and cities of Cyprus. Would highly recommend it to others.

Overall Apt. 7 is a nice place to stay. It is within walking distance of several restaurants, a convenience store, and a supermarket. The apartment was clean and comfortable. I was somewhat disappointed with the kitchen, which can honestly barely be called a kitchen, but since we were close to restaurants it wasn't too big of an issue. The apartment is very small but it suited our needs. Our host was very easy to communicate with and very willing to answer our questions. Overall I would definitely recommend.

My place is in Lakatamia and it's close to restaurants and dining. You’ll love my place because of the people, the location, and the outdoors space. My place is good for couples and solo adventurers.

Its a very cozy flat - there is always a nice chilled breeze coming in - its an open plan living room with a kitchen!

It is nice and quite. Family oriented. Very local.

It's a great location to stay if you have a car, but the bus stop is nearby and take you in 20min to the center of Nicosia and there is a swimming pool in the neighbor hood... So if je like it quiet it's really great! My son and I had a great time and Aspasia is really kind and helpful!

AVLI (The Georgallides Courtyard),a building of the 18th century, is a beautiful restored mountain village house, the perfect place for a quiet restful stay. It is an exquisite example of popular architecture, consisting of three old brick buildings

The natural environment, the historical monuments, the entertainment places, the horse-riding schools and the small distances to all sites of interest, (the village is only 25 km from the capital Nicosia, 25 km from Limassol and Larnaca beaches, 30 km from Larnaca International Airport and 15 km from the historic Macheras monastery), offer challenging opportunities and leave no other choice but AVLI to be, for the selective holiday makers, the unique place to stay and enjoy relaxation and unforgettable holidays. As Lythrodontas is practically the centre of Cyprus, and is easily accessible from all parts of the country, it serves the guests as a starting point for their excursions to any destination and is most convenient for their adventures.
Besides the above area attractions, Lythrodontas is also the right place for practicing your hobbies, nature trails, biking, painting holidays and the special interests and arts and craft activities.

Charalampos is a great communicator and a very helpful person! The place is amazing to stay in for a group of people wanting to stay in Lythrodontas, and is a very typical vintage Cypriot house. We rented the house for a 2-night stay for a wedding we had in Lythrodontas, and would definitely consider staying there again should the opportunity arise.
